SwingXTable

A collection of JXTable status, design decisions, past and future goals.

Enhancements/Features

Currently, simply link to review preparation pages. TODO: comment, ....

• Basics
• Column-related
• JXTableSorting^? - there's a part which will be replaced by Mustang in future (use RowSorter instead of FilterPipeline) and a part that's independent of the exact sorting/filtering mechanics (sorter api on JXTable)
• JXTableHighlighting^? - one type of SwingXHighlighting^?: is renderer-based; focused on decoupling "what" from "how"; shareable across different instances and different types of components
• Edit and focus bug fixes

RFEs

Currently, just a copied list from the jdnc/swingx issue trackers. TODO: group/order, comment ...

• Automatically show tooltips in cells that are truncated - need a better requirement analysis, especially about the interplay/boundary with/to "normal" tooltips.
• Add functionality to filter on row values from column header
• Table cells validation
• Add static columns to JXTable
• Enhanced TableColumnModel
• Programmatically choose columns to control in ColumnControl
• Provide cell merging/splitting capability
• Multiple selection support in ColumnControlButton
• Add a convenience method for replacing a table column in JXTable
• Sort multiple columns by clicking on headers - won't implement for SwingX targeted to 1.5, in future Mustang will provide this by default
• JXTable: keep selection after dataChanged - not possible for the general case TableModel. Might do something for models which have a row-identifier (like a list of beans)
• Collection Views: consistent disabled appearance
• Replace FilterPipeline API with RowSorter on JXTable - postponed to 1.6-targeted version: not much I can do in 1.5 without extensive d&p. Plus don't know how to handle a peaceful co-existence in both 1.5 and 1.6 environments. Is it possible at all? See forum: TODO - search and add link
• support for fixed - aka frozen - columns in JXTable - the best approached (enhance JScrollPane to take care) is hampered by licensing issues with core code
• Submenus in JXTable's Column Control - really interesting, not much hope to go into 1.0, though.
• Api to enable/disable the default find action in JXTable - further feedback wanted: how frequent is it, in which contexts and how big is the impact if we don't have it?
